Introduction

Trading strategy for the Freqtrade crypto bot. For backtesting results, check out the comments in the individual commit page.

General Recommendations

For optimal performance, suggested to use between 6 and 12 open trades, with unlimited stake.

A pairlist with 40 to 80 pairs. Volume pairlist works well.

Prefer stable coin (USDT, USDC etc) pairs, instead of BTC or ETH pairs.

Highly recommended to blacklist leveraged tokens (BULL, BEAR, UP, DOWN etc).

Ensure that you don't override any variables in you config.json. Especially the timeframe (must be 5m).

• use_exit_signal must set to true (or not set at all).
• exit_profit_only must set to false (or not set at all).
• ignore_roi_if_entry_signal must set to true (or not set at all).

Automatic Updates (Standalone Script)

For users who are not using the Docker Compose updater, the repository also includes the tools/checkupdates.sh script.

What this script does:

• Checks the NFI repository for updates and downloads the latest release or main branch commit
• Extracts the archive and updates the strategy files and all blacklist JSON files
• Cleans up downloaded and extracted files
• Optionally restarts a Docker container and sends Telegram notifications

• releases - Use official GitHub releases and update to the latest stable release
• commits - Use the latest commit from the main branch

1. Run the script manually first to create the configuration file and select your preferred update mode.
2. After the configuration file is created, set up a cron job to run the script periodically.
3. Run crontab -e and add a line such as the following to run the script every hour:

0     /path/to/your/script/checkupdates.sh

Automatic Updates (Docker)

The repository includes an nfi-updater sidecar service for Docker Compose users that keeps the strategy, blacklist, and pairlist automatically up to date without manual intervention.

What it does:

• Checks the strategy file, blacklist, and pairlist against the latest version on GitHub on a configurable schedule (default: every day at 10:00 AM in your timezone)
• Watches the blacklist file via HTTP ETag every 60 seconds and applies critical updates immediately
• Automatically restarts the freqtrade container only when a file actually changed

The nfi-updater service is already defined in docker-compose.yml. It starts alongside freqtrade automatically when you run:

docker compose up -d --build

Configuration (add to your .env):

# Timezone for the cron schedule
TZ=Europe/London
How often to check for updates (cron syntax, default: daily at 10:00 AM)
NFI_UPDATE_CRON=0 10   *
Docker Compose project name — must match what 'docker compose ls' shows
Docker uses the lowercase folder name by default
COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=nostalgiaforinfinity

docker compose logs -f nfi-updater
